| The
ABE to College Transition Mentor Program conducts community outreach,
provides support services, and offers special programs for students in
downtown Holyoke ABE classrooms (e.g. GED, ESOL, etc) who want to go
to college. The program includes a Transition to College class that
is offered three days a week, two days in downtown Holyoke and one
day at Holyoke Community College. This is a free class that provides
academic preparation in math, reading and writing as well as individual
counseling and help with college orientation and financial aid. College
mentoring is another component of the program. Holyoke Community College
students, with preference for former ABE students, are hired and trained
to provide support, help and role-modeling for college-bound ABE students.
